Probably some joker who flunked out of postGawd, I love these discussions!
Parents do tend to be lazy. They don't care what they're kids do. Much of the time, they feel guilty for being away so much so they think that giving the kids free rein is a way to make up for that lost time together with the kids.
Well, like I said originally, it wasn't the game itself that blew my mind. I don't think they have THAT much influence anyway. It just amazes me, however, that there is someone out there who thought it up.
